I see that in Europe where the local codes are fairly strict, there are manufacturer’s approved/made acoustic heat pump covers which take down the sound by 10-16 dBa.
See this for Daikin:

Or this for Mitsubishi

(there are also french, italian, and german versions).
But I see nothing like this in North america (canada ideal, US is great too).
Did I miss a supplier in my search or does anyone know a commercial supplier who does/can make a residential cover?
Ordering a flat pack unit from Europe seems crazy and I am concerned about snow/ice in my zone, so would prefer a solution tested for snowy climate.
